What if Zimmerman was white. Came across this and ding, ding...I forgot all about this but I do recall the matter. Ironic that such a thing gets forgotten so quickly when the shoes are reversed. http://www.americanthinker.com/2012/03/what_if_trayvon_had_been_white_and_the_shooter_black.html

Vince, man that sucks and I feel for ya. Damn. I just got a call from my aunt up in Mentor Ohio near the lake. Her nieghbors basement flooded with 6" water due to a sump failure while they were at work during a huge downpour. Stories like this make me glad we've done all we can in terms of back up sumps, alarms, and extra insurance for both sewage and clean water events. Good luck.

Cliffs: Ryan responded to Clays ad on CR. Clay and a friend worked over some nuts even touching them with heat. One pushing, one pulling and yet couldn't break it free. Plenty of blaster was used. In the end, Ryan's socket wasn't long enough. Clay is hoping for a 6 incher next time. :megusta::megusta:

Lincoln Aviator :gabe:

Zimmerman would have shot him and gotten off. I would agree with that too.

in for Clay's review of what will likely be a Netflix Streaming movie

Your view will change once you have kids of age to drive. Especially given the ranking of driving and deaths among teens. Not that your point isn't valid, but IMO when it comes to my kids lives, there's nothing worth the chance that stacks as high as this. Opinions will vary.

All of the above. PIA but nothing a few beers and a tennis racket won't make some fun out of. I've battled them over the past several years. I can stand on the deck alone and listen for them if there's no wind. Easy to hear them burrowing. Hornet spray followed by some wood filler works.

In the early stages of looking for a portable oxygen unit for my father. I'll be contacting the company he uses for his in-home unit and the tanks but I thought I would check with CR as many of us have elderly parents and some are in the medical arena. Thanks for insight leads or tips on particular units, where to buy one, how insurance/other plans cover them? This is all new to me....

Post some pics when you do. Like others, my initial though is that the 3 on the tree is going to get old fast. However, she sounds like a neat girl who might just appreciate the fact that it requires thought and focus. She won't be talking on the phone when in it, that's for sure. Safety is a HUGE Concern in my mind. Yours too I'm sure. Besides, you have enough other vehicles around that if she needs to go out with friends to a movie and doesn't want to take the truck, she might not have to.

all to buy a Fiat?

Let's reserve a spot to verify this on a percentage of the respective populations not just numbers. I don't have time to look it up but if you're looking at strictly numbers I might agree. However considering this country is 75/25% white/black I bet percentages of their respective populations will show the numbers differently. Again all facts need verified and the above is just my hunch.

Odd. We had new Pella vinyl Windows put in about 10yrs back and I saw nothing in there that would cause rust like that to come out of the weep holes.

meh...lates 60's riots whatever....riots are riots. Detroit's been a shit hole for years.

sorry, but I LOL'd at that. I could see my dad saying that.

Those sounds gave me wood.

I'd spill all over her cans.

Me too, but even 6 guys your size with guns would be eaten alive in some of those places. I have a Sales Rep up there that I travel with an next time, I'm going to have her drive while I get some rolling shots. There are areas up there from the Watts Riots that are standing still in time and look like they have been part of a nuclear test site. Some areas have blocks of buildings with no windows and half of which have been set on fire. Amazing and depressing at the same time. Funny though, you roll on a few miles and you're in a very nice area of town. Gratiot Ave in Eastpointe is one example. South of there is a hell hole. I rolled every single light I stopped at and didn't care. http://www.pbase.com/image/151411607/original.jpg http://www.pbase.com/timothylauro/image/151411606/original.jpg http://www.pbase.com/timothylauro/image/151411605/original.jpg

Quoting this here as it's perhaps the best text embedding in this entire thread. Thanks for posting.

were the chicks hot? pics?

in a lot of cases they really are. how many times have you seen the story where a guy hauling drugs was pulled over for some stupid ass violation drug dealers and mules are dumbass mofo's to be rolling down the highway in a heep with busted lights or incorrectly displayed tags, etc...fuck, whenever I haul 30lbs of Marijuana, I'm in the minivan cruising 3-5mph over the limit, stay put in the center lane and use my turn signals every time. Blend in and skate right through.

come on Bill, you know damn well the gov't has access to your emails and will probe you inside and out if you send pedophile like texts and emails....so please for your own safety, stop it. no training needed man. the law about probable cause is pretty clear. all you have to say is: "officer, I'm not resisting or interfering in any way, but I want to be very clear that I am NOT consenting to a search of my vehicle in any way" Then ask him if any clarification of your statement is needed. Repeat if necessary and then state that you are accepting his reply as he's clear. If they push, then just tell him, "look, I know you're just doing your job, but I do not in any way consent to searches" Lastly, Ask if you are being detained and what for. "Officer, are you detaining me and if so, what for?" You will need to clearly and proactively ask, "am I free to go?" Never answer their questions directly and avoid he trick questions. What you don't say can't be used against you. You here those questions all the time "sir do you know why I pulled you over?" "sir do you know how fast you were going?", etc. You can always state that "I"m uncomfortable with answering and unless you are detaining me, I am asking to leave...may I go? " If they detain you for any reason, immediately state that "you understand that they are perhaps just doing their job but you are going to remain silent and would like to see an attorney or have access to contacting one" You don't ever want to wait for your rights to be read to you and you don't have to answer any questions at all. Just ask the LEO "am I being inveistated or suspected in an investigation?" If yes, then tell them that "if this is formal questining then, I am within my rights of the 5th and 6th amendment to remain silent and seek counsel." Repeat thatyou are going to remain silent and would like to see an attorney or have access to contacting one. End of story. If you are NOT in some way involved in a formal investigation, then ask them "is there any reason I'm being detained because if not, I would like to be allowed to go" If you've made it through all the above, you're either going to have things made clear to you about the investigation, etc. and ultimately be arrested and carted to jail or you're going home. Always be respectful but firm and confident. Police try and intimidate you but in the end, they are just a person having a conversation with you. Unless they have probable cause/proof, they aren't going to arrest you.

Note to self....put Saab between me and OSP car.
